Trump is jealous of King Charles

Clay Jones

Leave it to Donald Trump to have to be taught about checks and balances by a king.

Donald Trump is enamored of King Charles and the British monarchy, even while disliking the British government. Donald Trump is envious because he wants to be a king. For most people, being president would be enough. (snip-MORE)

Humorless Safe Space

A $400 million ballroom can save Donald Trump from late-night zingers

Clay Jones

The Secret Service has been praised endlessly for the job they did Saturday night, protecting Donald Trump. They did everything they could to make the ballroom at the Washington Hilton a safe space for Trump, and you must admit, they succeeded. Not one comedian got into the room.

What? Did you think I was talking about a shooter? (snip-MORE)

Sen. Grassley Missed The Memo-

๐Ÿšจ HOT MIC: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was caught asking staff during questioning of Trump judicial nominees: โ€œWhat would be wrong if they said Biden won?โ€ Multiple people in the room heard it. GOP staffers were reportedly panicking, according to sources familiar.

The Trump regime is protecting hate groups

Clay Jones

The Justice Department (DOJ) going after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is another case where the Trump regime is going after its enemies. An enemy of hate groups, as SPLC is, is an enemy of the Trump regime.

SPLC has now been indicted on 11 counts, but remember where those indictments of James Comey and Letitia James went, straight into the trash. Donald Trump’s DOJ couldn’t obtain an indictment against the guy who threw a sandwich at Border Patrol agents. The DOJ just dropped its bogus case against Jerome Powell.

And remember the person in charge of the Justice Department is Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, who is angling to get the job permanently, or at least until Trumpโ€™s next mood swing, and he fires the Attorney General to replace him with Greg Gutfeld.

Bang Bang Ballroom

The very first thing Donald Trump talked about after the shooting was his stupid illegal ballroom

Clay Jones

I think the mentalist who was scheduled to host last nightโ€™s White House Correspondentsโ€™ Dinner should have received combat pay. Not because of an assassination attempt, but for having to roam through Donald Trump’s empty head.

I don’t believe last night’s assassination attempt was staged or fake. I do believe there was a serious assassination attempt at last night’s WHCD dinner. I don’t want to jump into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. But from what we know at this point, the assassination attempt may not have been on Trump’s life, but maybe just on any cabinet memberโ€™s life that the attempted shooter could’ve found, or at least that’s how it sounds from the bits of his manifesto. I have read.

I do believe it was extremely shitty for Donald Trump to use the assassination attempt as an argument for his stupid illegal ballroom that is currently being held up by a court.

Melania attacks satire and the First Amendment

This opportunistic First Lady doesn’t care.

Ann Telnaes

Iโ€™m infuriated by what Melania Trump tweeted today:

As a naturalized citizen and editorial cartoonist who has seen colleagues from around the world targeted, jailed, and even murdered for creating satire, I value our First Amendment. The First Lady, who is also an immigrant, should realize the importance of free speech and a free press but she lives in an entitled world and like her husband, is trying to control the news media to silence her critics. She is undermining the foundations of a democracy and is just as miserable a human being as her husband.


Low Energy Trump

Donald Trump can fall asleep anywhere

Clay Jones

Donald Trump has been falling asleep during meetings lately. He’s fallen asleep during cabinet meetings, and here at the 26-minute mark, you can see that he falls asleep twice during a meeting about healthcare last week.

Tell me that he’s not falling asleep and instead is doing some deep thinking or is meditating. Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Yesterday, I told you that I do not believe the assassination attempt was fake or staged. It’s not that I don’t believe the goons and the Trump regime would try that. It’s because I don’t believe these idiots could pull it off.

I hate this would-be assassin. First, he ruined my Saturday night. I had planned to clock out and go through at least a couple of the movies on my Netflix watchlist. Instead, I watched CNN all evening. Yeah, I’m a news buff, but I think it’s important to turn off sometimes, which I try to do on Saturdays and Sundays. I mean, I start the mornings with news programs and maybe through the middle of the day. But by late afternoon, I just want to turn all that shit off and not think about politics and, most importantly, not think about Donald Trump. This would-be assassin took my Saturday away from me.

Cover Snark: Detective Stabler, Is That You?

byย Amandaย ยท Apr 27, 2026 at 2:00 amย 

Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Elyse: The artist was sick the day they learned to draw the lower body.

Sneezy: Never skip leg day.

Amanda: Her dress reminds me of thoseย Barbie dress cakes.

Sarah: That is just So Much Dress.

Also, are his trousers open in the front?! My word!


From Syntha: I donโ€™t even know where to start with this one.

Sarah: He looks like someone. Who does he look like. Itโ€™s going to bug me until I figure it out.

Elyse: Itโ€™s orange Detective Stabler.

Sarah: YES I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.

Elyse:ย Doink Doink!


Sarah: Syntha also sent this and I have to say, I respect the attempt:

Syntha: The giraffe neck just looks so silly rising out of the jacket.

Amanda: Honestly, this one is perfect.

No notes.

Elyse: His center of gravity is just so fucked up.

Can you imagine the orthopedic issues that guy has?

Sarah: I really canโ€™t fault any of it.


Sarah: This was a suggestion while I was looking at the Neckromancer (I see what was done there) and in icon size it looks like he is drooling.

Amanda: You can just tell this man has an overinflated ego.

Sarah: He is his own Chosen Champion, huh? Yeah, I see it.
